“Hey, I wasn’t taken away. I’m right in front of you.”
Although the two of them were right in front of Chu Ze, they couldn’t hear him at all.
They could only see Chu Ze spitting bubbles in the fish tank.
“I keep feeling like this koi is talking to me. Is it my imagination?”
Li Manman pointed at Chu Ze in the fish tank.
Hearing Li Manman’s doubt, Chu Ying smiled and said, “He is talking to you. He is asking you for something to eat. He always acts like this when he is hungry.”
.
Hearing Chu Ying’s explanation, Li Manman also felt amazed. It was also the first time she had seen such a spiritual koi.
“I feel like this koi is very friendly, just like… just like being with your brother.”

Hearing this, Chu Ying’s eyes turned red.
“Yes, this is the last thing my brother left me. I will take good care of it.”
After observing for a while, Li Manman pointed at the fish tank.
“Your fish tank is a little small. Look, it’s difficult for it to turn around inside.”
“Ah, it’s true. What should we do now? It’s almost dark. I don’t know if we can still buy a fish tank. Why don’t we go and buy one tomorrow morning?”
Li Manman shook her head and said, “No, your fish tank is too small. If we don’t change it in time, the fish might run out of oxygen in there. Why don’t we take it to my house first? My house has a big fish tank.”

“Okay, that’s it for now. Let’s go buy a fish tank together tomorrow.”
The two houses weren’t too far apart. The two girls took turns carrying the fish tank and walked there in ten minutes.
When they arrived at Li Manman’s house, Chu Ze saw the huge fish tank in her bedroom. It took up almost half of the wall.

“As expected of a rich family. However, isn’t it a little inappropriate to place the fish tank in the bedroom?”

Then, Chu Ze began to observe the bedroom. After observing it, he knew that he was overthinking things.
Just this bedroom was already the size of his entire house.
“As expected of a rich family. Even the bedroom is so luxurious.”

In fact, this house was bought by Li Manman’s parents so that Li Manman could go to a better school.
Her parents were businessmen. They didn’t usually come here. Now, Li Manman was the only one living here.
Seeing the fish tank, Chu Ying said worriedly.
“There are fish in your fish tank. They won’t fight, right?”
Li Manman smiled. “Don’t worry. The fish I raise are all very gentle. Moreover, these fish are much smaller than Little Ze. They won’t be able to beat him even if they fight.”

Then, she began to prepare a new environment for Chu Ze.
She adjusted the water temperature, disinfected, and a series of other operations were carried out carefully.

Finally, she placed Chu Ze into the tank.
Chu Ze was a little speechless. These operations were actually dispensable to him. He was dizzy after one set of operations.
However, Chu Ze was still very satisfied with the fish tank. The space was big enough for him to swim around inside.
Most importantly, the fish tank had a small oxygen generator, which made Chu Ze’s breathing much smoother.

The two girls sat in front of the fish tank and observed Chu Ze.
“Do you think Little Ze will continue to grow? What if the fish tank can’t support him in the end?”
Li Manman thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t know either. I’ve never seen someone grow so fast before.”
Chu Ying also nodded and said, “I’ve never seen someone grow so fast before.”
“Hey, it’s spitting bubbles. Is it wanting to eat something?”
Actually, it was Chu Ze who was complaining about the two of them.
“You must have seen it. Even I didn’t expect myself to turn into a fish.”
“I have some fish food here for the small fish. Pour some for it.”
As soon as the fish food was poured in, the group of small fish started to fight for it.
Chu Ze immediately sped up and dispersed the group of fish. The small fish that dared to come and fight for the food were all pushed aside by Chu Ze.
“Wow, this koi is so domineering. The other fish don’t dare to go and snatch the food.”
Hearing this, Chu Ze was proud. “It’s easy to deal with these small fish.”
After a while, Chu Ying suddenly stood up. “Ah, it’s getting late. I should go back.”
Li Manman pulled Chu Ying. “Why should you go back? I still have an empty bedroom here. Besides, didn’t you stay here the whole night yesterday?”
“Don’t leave tonight either. We don’t have to go to class tomorrow. Let’s go buy a fish tank together.”
Chu Ying nodded. “Okay then. But I still have to rest early. I talked to you until too late last night. I’m sleepy now.”
After sending Chu Ying to the bedroom next door, Li Manman took out a photo from the drawer.
There were three children in the photo. They were Chu Ze, Chu Ying, and Li Manman.
They had taken this photo together when they were small.
Chu Ze was also a little surprised when he saw the photo. “I didn’t expect her to still have it. I’ve already lost the one I have.”
Li Manman slowly caressed the photo. Her eyes were red.
“Brother Chu, you’re definitely not dead, right? Now that we haven’t found the body, it’s still possible you are still alive.”
“I’ll definitely find out the truth about this incident.”
Not long after, she stood up, pulled up the curtains, and prepared to take off her clothes and take a shower.
There was no need to worry about anything in her own bedroom. Just like that, she started to change on the bed in front of the fish tank.
“D*mn, I should avoid this scene, I should avoid this scene.”

After washing up, Li Manman sat in front of the computer. Even her loose pajamas could not completely cover up her figure.
However, at this time, Chu Ze no longer had any thoughts of admiring her figure. His attention was completely attracted by the content displayed on the computer.
“According to the latest news, many sea creatures have mutated due to the effects of the radiation. Please stop fishing in areas where the mutation is serious.”
“According to the reporter’s report, many creatures have been affected by the radiation and have become highly aggressive.”
These were all recent news. Li Manman hoped that there would be some information about the sea monsters.
Chu Ze was also thinking about it as he read the news.
“Could the big monster that attacked the cruise ship be a mutated species? No, even if it started from nuclear pollution, it shouldn’t have grown so big so quickly.”
“Or could it be someone like me who reincarnated and obtained the system?”
“Impossible, impossible, how could the system be so widespread?”
5
Now that he thought about it, that creature’s exaggerated size didn’t seem like a species on earth. A cruise ship that was over a hundred meters long was swallowed by it in one gulp.
He didn’t know how big its complete body was because Chu Ze couldn’t see the full appearance of that monster at a glance at that time.
After browsing through the news for a while, Li Manman opened a special website.
Chu Ze glanced at it and thought to himself, “This Li Manman can’t have access to that kind of website, right?”
Then, he saw that the website that Li Manman opened needed to be decrypted layer by layer before it could be accessed.
Even if ordinary people were lucky enough to unlock the first layer, they wouldn’t be able to see the real content of the website. They would need to log in to several pages before they could see the real content.
Li Manman’s fingers slid on the scroll wheel, and the content of the website began to appear before Chu Ze’s eyes.
